[quote=Anonymous]My kids are at Tubman, and they go to Champions aftercare (in the swing space). That is the basic, fee-for-service aftercare there. I have heard nothing about Champions being impacted by the budget cuts, as it's a whole separate company, and I don't believe they're impacted by the school budget cuts (largest in the district! So unfair!).

I suspect the teacher is referring to one of two other things. 1) Aftercare at a Title I school like Tubman is subsidized by the federal government, so there is always the possibility that Trump does something crazy with the Department of Ed that impacts that, but it would impact literally every Title I school in the country if that happened. Or 2) there are other after school programs and aftercare options above and beyond Champions, most of which are aimed at low income students. I'm not at all familiar with those programs or how they are funded, but it's very possible some are funded by the school and might be impacted by the funding cuts.

I'm picking my kids up from Champions later today and will check in with the site leader and see if she knows anything. But I'm very plugged in at the school with other parents, and there has been no talk of Champions being impacted by the cuts.

Welcome to Tubman! It's a great community! We've had a great experience there. [/quote]
